ARTICLE ABSTRACT

The CCAAT-binding transcription factor NF-Y plays a central role in regulating cellular proliferation by controlling the expression of genes required for cell-cycle progression such as cyclin A, cyclin B1, cyclin B2, cdc25A, cdc25C, and cdk1. Here we show that unrestricted NF-Y activity leads to apoptosis in an E2F1- and wild-type p53 (wtp53)-dependent manner. Unrestricted NF-Y activity induced an increase in E2F1 mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, NF-Y directly bound the E2F1 promoter and this correlated with the appearance of open chromatin marks. The ability of NF-Y to induce apoptosis was impaired in cells lacking E2F1 and wtp53. Moreover, NF-Y overexpression elicited phosphorylation of wt p53Ser18 in an E2F1-dependent manner. Our findings establish that NF-Y acts upstream of E2F1 in p53-mediated apoptosis. Cancer Res; 70(23); 9711–20. ©2010 AACR.
